Genealogists and historians can get a microscopic look at sweeping historical trends when individual records from the 1950 census are released this week
Researchers view the records that will be released Friday, March 31, 2022 as a gold mine, and amateur genealogists see it as a way to fill gaps in family trees.
Starting Friday, genealogists and historians can get a microscopic look at those sweeping historical trends when individual records on 151 million people from the 1950 census are released. “This is genealogy heaven when a census is rolled out,” said Matt Menashes, executive director of the National Genealogical Society. “People are waiting anxiously. It’s hard to overstate.”
“It’s an interesting journey to find out where you are from and the census records help you find information that isn’t always available,” said Kalman, 55. “Family stories aren’t always passed down and the census records give you a snapshot in time. It helps put together a picture.”
